Suicide In Jail.

Within the last few days two prisoners
confined in Georgia jails have committed
suicide.l At Eastman, William Shine,
negro, imprisoned for a trivial offense,
ended his career with morphine, and, at
Macon, Cicero Darby, a white man, con-
demned to life Imprisonment for the muir
der of his cousin, ended his life with the
same drug or some other poison.
The criminal records of Geor-
gia contain number of
similar cases. Men condemned to expiate
crime upon the gallows have not infre-
quently escaped the disgrace of such a
death by committing suicide. In every
case the officers charged with the care of
the prisoners have professed to be greatly
surprised, and have seemingly been unable
to explain how the deadly drug, the knife,
or the pistol, was obtained When such
cases occur it is not the rule to make inves-
legations. The unfortunates 71iu pris-
oner's body is buried, and that
is the end of the matter. This sort
of thing has become too common in C;eor-
gia. 1t is the duty of the iailer to see that
his prisoners are properly guarded, so that
justice may not be defeated. He has no
right to allow crowds Of visitors in the Jail,
unless he takes precautions to prevent them
from holding secret communication with his
prisoners In the the case of
Cicero Darby, it wes known
to his fellow prisoners that he was
taking drug at least twelve hours before
his DEATH 1t is strange that the jailer did
not know it also. 1t is stranger that he did
not watch Darby's visitors, so as to prevent
them from giving him the drug.
In cases like that of Darby, however. the
jailer is not the only person who is to blame.
The Sheriff, who has the control of the
jailer, and sometimes the physician who
prescribes for the prisoner, are often to
blame. The latter two are not infrequentlv
guilty of carelessnesS. The one fails to ex-
ercise close supervision over his deputy and
the other is too ready to follow the sugges-
tions of the prisoner in making prescrip-
tons.
When a prisoner is placed in the care of
the officers they are responsible for him,
and they ought to be required to render a
strict account of their trust. If the pris-
oner commits suicide an investigation
should be made, and, if the officers have
been careless, they should be punished. It
is as much their duty TO prevent an escape
by death as it is to prevent one by the
breaking of locks. No

When French intervention stopped min.
Ing in Mexico the Aguayas brothers, then
poor miners, waited until the title to the
celebrated Mulatto's mine became void, and
then they denounced it. They have since
worked the mine on the old plan, and have
made a fortune out of it. Some years ago
Senator Hearst, of California, offered
900 for it, but his offer was refused. 1t
has now been sold to an English syndicate
for 100000. 1t is said that the property

Fearful Fate Of Opium Suicides I'm

The London Standard says Catholic paper
published in China prints statement Of q start
ling description with respect TO opium poisoning.
Opium is the general medium for suicide In China,
and the remedy which Is recommended, namely.
TO make the would-be suicide swallow the blood
Of live duck as an emettc, may be passed by with
smile-athough, should IT act as an emetic, It
may, perhaps, be as useful as any other. The
statement that follows however, Ii more worthy
OF attention, for the native paper says that there
Is reason to doubt II the supposed successful sui
ctdes actually Ole at ALL as the 0flctal exhumation
OF many bodies shows that after the fumes have
evaPorated the buried persons have struggled yio-
lently to free themselves. There are In this and
other countries many well-attested instances OF
persons having been buried alive, and II Is gene
rally supposed tn Il they have been the victims Of
sort OF trance. closely stimulating death. Natur-
ally. In q country like China, where medical
science does not exist, and where burials take
place very few hours after death, the proportion
OF mistakes will be vastly larger than with US;
and the heavy torpor induced by large dose Of
opium would frequently be mistaken FOR death.
II would, however, be interesting TO know whether
there are any facts whatever TO support the
Chinese view that, at least q considerable num-
Der OF persons buried dead, after taking opium,
recover when the poison has to some extent evap-
grated.

In Defense OF His Mother.

THOMAS HELMUTH TO APPEAR BEFORE THB GRAND
JURY FOR SHOOTING HIS srEPFATHRR-
The case OF Herbert Bohnke, the saloon-keeper
on the Bladensburg road, charged with assaulting
his wife a week ago. was called for trial In the
Police Court this afternoon, and the case OF Thos
Helmuth, the stepson, charged with shooting
Bohnke, was also called. Mr.. Cahill appeared for
the young man and Mr.. c. s Moore appeared for
BOhnke.
The first witness called was Mrs. Bohnke, who
testified that week ago, early in the morning,
her husband assaulted her. He had her by the
her daughter cried TOR help, and her son came
down stairs and shot him TO protect her.
Miss Annie Heilmuth, the daughter, corr0bo-
rated the testimony OF her mother.
The boy testified that he went 10 his mothers
assistance when he heard his sister cry for help.
He found his stepfather beating his mother, and
he asked him to stop. He (Bohnke) said: %
you, III fix You when finish her" ana started To-
ward him. when he fired two shots at him.
Bohnke testified that he spoke to his wife about
the boy coming home late OF night and disturbing
with her children, and pushed him aside and they
had some trouble. He SAID that he had no lnten-
ton OF killing her, but was merely teaching her q
lesson, as he had done on previous occasions. One
OF the bullets he said struck him in the head and
the other passed through his clothing.
Mr.. Cahin thought that as the boy was protect
ing his mother from q brutal assault he should be
discharged.
The judge said that, under the circumstances,
had no DOUBT but that that body would take the
right view OF the case. Bohnke was fined SO for
assaulting his wife. Mr.. Moore said he would note
an appeal.

LeprOsy In Miuuesota.

ST. PAUL, Dec. 3.-The Pioneer Ress learns from
Rathsay, Mimi, OF the existence near there OF
two cases OF leprOsy OF the most loathsOme type,
being that known TO medical men as eisphantiasis
mutetans. Both are Norwegtans and heads OF
families, one living In otter Tail County and the
other In wilkins County. None OF the members
OF their families have the disease. Before leaving
Norway both men were fishermen and lived
almost exclusively on flsh diet, to which they
attribute their afilictiOn
